I've worn them for the last 4 years and really it's doing me no good. i do a lot of walking so i need a sandal that will be comfy, but i want something a little more stylish.

anyone have any good websites please?

i love birkis and wear them all summer... i flirted with fitflops last year, and with some very comfortable flipfloppy type shoes made by Grendha, here...

Mephistos are best. Very similar to Birkenstocks but far fewer people have them.

Gillybobs · 23/03/2011 21:26

I bought these after seeing them in Marie Claire and they are AMAZING

It looks like Grendha released a whole new range just a few days ago. Some nice looking stuff, //www.grendhaflipflops.co.uk - I've been wearing these for a few years and they are the most comfortable flip flops around and this year range look very funky. Now I might have to have some more new shoes :) hehe

Fit flops are the only ones that have tempted me out of birkis, comfort wise.

saltyseadog · 26/03/2011 10:42

Eek - Mephistos are twice the price of Birkis

OP - stick with the Birkies - nothing will get me out of Birkies, other than 6 foot snow drifts. You do know that you can get them from TK Maxx now?

OhCobblers · 26/03/2011 16:35

just to reiterate Jeee's post i saw £40 Birkies in TK MAxx
couple of weeks ago reduced to £22.99. they had patent black, red and silver amongst others!!

naturelover · 26/03/2011 17:12

Scholl Biminis are comfortable but slightly less clumpy than Birkies, IMO

warthog · 26/03/2011 19:01

thanks for all the suggestions. i think i will buy another pair of birkies, but will try to branch out to try something else...

warthog · 27/03/2011 12:59

I want to get into mine, but I can't bloody find them.

Black patents.

IlsaLund · 27/03/2011 14:03
